Common Side Effects
CommonInjection site reactions
Mild redness, swelling, or discomfort at the injection site is one of the most frequently reported side effects of injectable peptide therapy. These reactions are typically transient and resolve within a few hours to a day.
Uncommon Side Effects
UncommonMild headache
Some patients report mild headaches during the initial days of therapy. This is generally temporary and tends to diminish as the body adjusts to treatment.
Mild fatigue
Some longevity-focused peptides may cause temporary fatigue as cellular repair and metabolic processes are upregulated. This is generally a short-term effect.
Flushing or warmth
Certain longevity peptides, particularly those that influence NAD+ pathways or mitochondrial function, may cause temporary flushing or a sensation of warmth. This typically subsides quickly.
